The most iconic of these lighthouses is the Pemaquid Point Lighthouse. It is an easy light to travel to and visit by land standing atop and upthrusting ledge. Its placement is interesting, not on the furthest point of land out to sea, but rather on a secondary point, located on the Muscongus Bay.
The lighthouse itself is in excellent shape and while the gift shop burned in 2020, as you can see, it is being rebuilt.
